What type of coffee table is best for a small space?
When choosing a coffee table for a small space, there are plenty of great options. Nesting coffee tables are a great choice, as they can be expanded to create more surface area when needed, while having a smaller footprint when tucked back together. A storage coffee table is an excellent option to add additional storage in your small space and help to tidy away any clutter. Lastly, glass coffee tables can also work great in a small living room, as they let light pass through easily and make the space feel brighter and more spacious. Whatever coffee table you choose for your small space, remember to measure the space to ensure it will fit - always leave enough room for you to walk comfortably around the coffee table.
Is a marble coffee table a good idea?
Marble makes a great material for a coffee table - it’s hard wearing, easy to clean, smooth, stylish and strong, making it ideal for most living rooms. Of course, it also has that air of luxury, making it feel like an extravagant addition to modern and traditional living rooms alike! But what are the disadvantages of a marble coffee table? Well, they tend to be rather heavy - so if you decide you need to move it, you may need two or more pairs of hands to do so! All marble is also porous to a degree, so liquids like wine, coffee, lemon juice, vinegar, carbonated soft drinks, or toiletries can stain the surface of a marble top coffee table - although this is also the case with other popular materials like wood. A solid marble coffee table is also one of the more expensive options in our range, but you can get a similar look for a more affordable price with one of our ceramic marble-look coffee tables. Of course, if your heart is set on solid marble - you can always spread the cost of your new coffee table with our interest free credit options.
Do coffee tables make a room look bigger?
Choosing the right coffee table for your space can indeed make the room look bigger. Just be sure to choose the right size - a coffee table that’s too big for your space, and doesn’t let you walk easily around it, will likely overpower the room. To make your living room feel more spacious, go for a light-reflecting material like a glass coffee table, or even a marble coffee table. It’s also a good idea to opt for lighter colours - a white coffee table is ideal. A great hack to make a room look bigger is to choose a coffee table with storage - tidying away all that (totally necessary, of course) living room clutter will immediately make your room look bigger.
Is glass good for a coffee table?
Glass is a popular option for coffee tables for a range of reasons! It’s a non-porous material, which makes it easy to clean up spills, and is less likely to stain. Glass coffee tables are also made of extra thick, tempered glass, which is very strong. Of course, there are some things to be aware of with glass coffee tables - dust, streaks and fingerprints can be quite visible, although these are easily wiped away with some glass cleaner and a soft cloth. They’re also often quite heavy, and since they are made of glass, may not be the best choice if you have particularly energetic children or pets who like to leap around the living room..!
